Life is a tragic comedy. And then we die. In a world that rarely allows for second chances, Dorian Steel has found himself with just such an opportunity. Orphaned as a baby and later incarcerated as a teen, his life has been anything but happy or normal. Now, the visions have started. The nightmares of a dark presence have brought him no peace, but rather an ominous warning. The demons from a past he does not know will not die. Still, that''s only the beginning of his troubles. Hell is coming with razor-sharp claws. A loner by nature, Steel prefers to keep his head low while creating works of art as a landscaper, but he cannot escape the ugly truth that you don''t always get to choose your destiny--sometimes it chooses you. The psychic abilities that have been a curse in his eyes are stronger than he realizes and more important than he could ever imagine. He is a man riddled with guilt for his past mistakes and he does not let himself forget them. As a personal punishment, Steel keeps himself from the one woman that can make him happy, but that will change when his nightmares become reality. Soon, his fears and desires will collide. An ancient evil draws near. Andras is the god of quarrels. He is a pure-bred demon that was reared from the very flesh of Lucifer, but even Hell won''t have this abomination. Banished from the lakes of fire, Andras seeks to take the land that God made for man as his own--a second Hell. Hoping to unleash his thirty legions of demonic souls upon an unsuspecting human race, nothing short of complete annihilation will satisfy him, but there is one problem. A group of hunters has exiled the son of Lucifer to a dark, mountainous terrain in another dimension using a sacred and mystical weapon known as a Keris--a small curved dagger made centuries ago in Indonesia. In order for his reign to come to fruition, Andras must escape this prison. His legions are loyal. He has help in our world. Bashir the demon is a general in the dark army of Andra

In 1836 a young boy travels with his family to East Tennessee. They settle near the famed frontier town and stagecoach stop of Bean Station where they find both fertile pasture and imposing mountains. In this rugged landscape the boy, Bartlet Yancy Harris, and his siblings mature and begin lives of promise. B.Y., as he soon becomes known, falls in love with and eventually marries Lucretia Gray, whom he has known since childhood. He and his father-in-law begin a business together, and two of his brothers marry Lucretia's sisters. But there is not always agreement between the two families: the Grays own slaves while the Harrises are against slavery. As the Civil War draws near, difficult choices will have to be made. When the country goes to battle against itself, it becomes clear that East Tennessee isn't a place where families will be able to wait out the war, worried about individual solders but safe themselves. As a Union-leaning area within a Confederate state, the region will suffer extensively for four years. When both the Confederacy and the Federals send armies into East Tennessee, the forces not only battle each other but confiscate so much food and livestock that citizens become desperate. Although they hate leaving their families in this turmoil, B.Y. and his brothers eventually enlist with the Union, joining the Eighth Tennessee Volunteer Regiment. At first, to their great frustration, the regiment prepares defenses in Kentucky and Knoxville, Tennessee, instead of fighting. But as the war drags on, more soldiers are needed on the battlefield, and the brothers experience true carnage at battles such as Utoy Creek, near Atlanta, and at Franklin, Tennessee. They also have varying war experiences, and individually endure disease, the infamous Andersonville Prison and various Civil War hospitals. Not all of them survive. Meanwhile their families in Bean Station are suffering also. A battle occurs in the middle of town, and Lucretia faces a group o
